“We know how he feels a little bit, but not totally, because our family we felt like we almost lost somebody,” Williams said.

Anthony Colon- Cruz’s brother, said he appreciates Williams for personally coming out to meet them.

“It’s a blessing, it’s a blessing, like he said he’s here to support each other and at the end of the day we’re just one,” Colon said.

Due to use of force resulting in the death of Cruz - it was announced Tuesday that the Hartford State Attorney’s office will now be taking over the investigation.

Hartford State’s Attorney Gail P. Hardy released a statement:

“We extend our condolences to Mr. Vega Cruz’s family. I must balance the needs of the investigation with the public’s right to know what happened and I intend to disclose those videos as soon as I can determine that disclosure will not interfere with the investigation.”
